A cowboy from Texas attends a town hall meeting where Barack Obama is trying to gather more support for his Health Plan.

Once the President discovers the cowboy is from President Bush’s home area, he starts to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and single syllable words.

As he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head.
The cowboy says, “Y’all havin’ some problem with them circle flies?”

Obama stopped talking and said, “Well, yes, if that’s what they’re called, but I’ve never heard of circle flies.”

“Well Sir,” the cowboy replies, “circle flies hang around ranches. They’re called circle flies because they’re almost always found circling around the back end of a horse.”

“Oh,” Obama replies as he goes back to rambling. But, a moment later he stops and bluntly asks, “Are you calling me a horse’s ass?”

“No, Sir,” the cowboy replies, “I have too much respect for the citizens of this country to call their President a horse’s ass.”

“That’s a good thing,” Obama responds and begins rambling on once more.

After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, “Hard to fool them flies, though.”

The object of the game is to destroy American capitalism by having the government take over everything.

Wanna play?  No?  Too bad, you’re already playing.

And in this game, you never win!!

There is absolutely nothing like the passion of a mother who loves her children and her country. The audio of Susan from Glendale California is an amazing thing to hear. There is a new Star in the Patriot constellation. If you think I am kidding just take a listen at:

Wind farms are going up all over this area. Nearly 200 turbines are under construction north of Luverne right now, and another large phase of development, Ashtabula III, is scheduled to go up south of Interstate 94 in the near future. The Otesco wind project in Green Township will be carried out within 5 years. Green Township is a particularly attractive area with gentle hills that are very colorful in autumn. These graceful hills will soon be topped by 400-foot wind turbines. Other sprawling projects are being planned throughout the state, many of them in the scenic and historical Coteau region. Once these projects are completed, our prairie lands with their rolling hills, wooded ravines, lakes and streams will be blighted for a hundred years by innumerable wind turbines, monuments to environmentalist hubris and technological excess. This pinwheel junkyard will be the dominant feature of this area until the end of our lifetimes and the lifetimes of our children. There will be a generation of North Dakota children raised in Pinwheel Land who will have never seen, and will have no memory of, an unspoiled, uncluttered view. The black silhouettes of giant wind turbines will scar both sunrise and sunset. I have done quite a bit of work photographing the Grand Prairie countryside where I live as well as that of the surrounding area. I believe that it is important to give future generations a record of what these areas once looked like, and I am calling on all amateur photographers to pay more attention to the grand scenery of this region. It would be an important cultural and historical service for, say, the Obsessed Photographers to consider creating a pictorial record of our lost landscapes.

There is significant evidence that the Democrats will do anything to go against the the will of the American people and put their “version” of health care reform into law. There is emerging evidence that they will even go as far as complex procedural methods to do it even though they do not have the votes! THIS MUST BE STOPPED!

The Heritage Foundation’s Brian Darling has authored an important article that Rush Limbaugh talked about today (September 30, 2009), explaining how the Democrat reform can be accomplished in the article, “Congress’s Secret Plan to Pass Obamacare”:

President Obama and liberals in Congress seem intent on passing comprehensive health care reform, even though polls suggest it is unpopular with the American people. And despite the potential political risks to moderate Democrats, the President and left-wing leadership in Congress are determined to pass the measure using a rare parliamentary procedure. 

The Senate plans to attach Obamacare to a House-passed non-healthcare bill. Ironically, nobody knows what that legislation looks like, because it has not yet been written. Yet many members plan to rubber-stamp Obamacare without reading or understanding the bill.

AND…..

Once the Senate passes a bill and sends it to the House, all the House would have to do is pass the bill without changes and President Obama will be presented with his health care reform measure. If this plan does not work, the Senate and House leadership may go back to considering using reconciliation to pass the legislation. 

Adopting this secret plan will not strike most Americans as a transparent, bipartisan, effective way to change how millions of Americans get their health care.

If you truly mean it, and only if you truly will do it, call as I did this afternoon and tell Senator Harry Reid’s staff that:

If the health care legislation does NOT go through the 60 vote cloture process in the U.S. Senate, I WILL raise money for whomever is Senator Reid’s opponent in the 2010 election and will guarantee that I WILL personally contribute AT LEAST $1,000.00 to the Senator’s opponent.

Please consider doing this ONLY IF you are truly intent on going through with it! Idle talk can not carry the day! This is critical that we give Senator Reid a wake-up call regarding his own political future. He will be in a very tough race in Nevada. Remember what happened to Tom Daschle when the he was the Senate Majority Leader and the home-state folks understood what he was up to!

What is truth? What is fiction? You decide.

A Courageous State Leader

The national news all too often highlights political leaders who do not represent the values of people of faith; consequently, many God-fearing citizens wrongly believe that few elected officials share our moral and religious convictions. But such a conclusion is wrong. There are literally hundreds of elected officials at the state level (and even scores in Congress) who do not only share but are outspoken about our Judeo-Christian values.

One such official is Rep. Sally Kern of the Oklahoma House of Representatives. Rep. Kern recently introduced a Proclamation on Morality that was signed at the State Capitol by numerous elected officials and religious leaders. We thought you might enjoy reading her proclamation, filled with powerful quotes made by America’s Founding Fathers. (If you are encouraged by her boldness, you might send her a message of encouragement and thanks. You can learn more about Sally at her website and can also view her proclamation.)

Rep. Sally Kern’s

Proclamation of Morality

We the People of Oklahoma, Invoking the guidance of Almighty God, in order to secure and perpetuate the blessing of Liberty; to secure just and rightful Government; to promote our mutual Welfare and Happiness, do establish this proclamation and call upon the people of the great State of Oklahoma, and our fellow Patriots in these United States of America who look to the Lord for guidance, to acknowledge the need for a national awakening of righteousness in our land.

  WHEREAS, “It is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand” (John Adams); and
 
WHEREAS, “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by Religion and Morality” (John Adams); and

  WHEREAS, “Our Constitution was made only for a Moral and Religious people” (John Adams); and

  WHEREAS, “We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government…but upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God” (James Madison); and

  WHEREAS, “Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God (Benjamin Franklin); and

  WHEREAS, “God who gave us life gave us liberty and can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of God” (Thomas Jefferson); and

  WHEREAS, “Whether any free government can be permanent, where the public worship of God, and the support of Religion, constitute no part of the policy or duty of the state” (Joseph Story); and

  WHEREAS, “We hold sacred the rights of conscience, and promise to the people…the free and undisturbed exercise of their religion” (Roger Sherman); and

  WHEREAS, “This great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians” (Patrick Henry); and

  WHEREAS, “When you…exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed upon your mind that God commands you to choose just men who will rule in the fear of God” (Noah Webster); and

  WHEREAS, “The principles of genuine Liberty and of wise laws and administrations are to be drawn from the Bible” (Noah Webster); and

  WHEREAS, the people of Oklahoma have a strong tradition of reliance upon the Creator of the Universe; and

  WHEREAS, we believe our economic woes are consequences of our greater national moral crisis; and

  WHEREAS, this nation has become a world leader in promoting abortion, pornography, same sex marriage, sex trafficking, divorce, illegitimate births, child abuse, and many other forms of debauchery; and

  WHEREAS, alarmed that the Government of the United States of America is forsaking the rich Christian heritage upon which this nation was built; and

  WHEREAS, grieved that the Office of the president of these United States has refused to uphold the long held tradition of past presidents in giving recognition to our National Day of Prayer; and

  WHEREAS, deeply disturbed that the Office of the president of these United States disregards the biblical admonitions to live clean and pure lives by proclaiming an entire month to an immoral behavior [i.e., the White House issued a national proclamation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Month];

    NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we the undersigned elected officials of the people of Oklahoma, religious leaders and citizens of the State of Oklahoma, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world, solemnly declare that the HOPE of the great State of Oklahoma and of these United States, rests upon the Principles of Religion and Morality as put forth in the
HOLY BIBLE; and

    BE IT RESOLVED that we, the undersigned, believers in the One True God and His only Son, call upon all to join with us in recognizing that “Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord,” and humbly implore all who love Truth and Virtue to live above reproach in the sight of God and man with a firm reliance on the leadership and protection of Almighty God; and

    BE IT RESOLVED that we, the undersigned, humbly call upon Holy God, our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer, to have mercy on this nation, to stay His hand of judgment, and grant a national awakening of righteousness and Christian renewal as we repent of our great sin.

Signed in the year of our Lord Christ Two Thousand and Nine.

In the April 2008 primary debate on ABC News Barack Obama told America that:

“George this is of what I’m talking about. This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood who’s a professor of English in Chicago who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from… The notion that somehow that by me knowing someone who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old somehow reflects on my values doesn’t make much sense George.”

For his efforts Cashill has been ridiculed. But now, the truth is beginning to seep out. From the new book, “Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage,” by celebrity journalist, Christopher Anderson:

“These oral histories, along with a partial manuscript and a truckload of notes, were given to Ayers.” Andersen quotes a Hyde Park neighbor, “Everyone knew they were friends and that they worked on various projects together.  It was no secret. Why would it be? People liked them both.”

Andersen continues,

“In the end, Ayers’s contribution to Barack’s Dreams From My Father would be significant—so much so that the book’s language, oddly specific references, literary devices, and themes would bear a jarring similarity to Ayers’s own writing.”

Hannity interviews author Christopher Andersen on Fox:

I have been doing quite a bit of research concerning various aspects of what Glenn Beck explains on September 22, 2009. I feel confident that he is again leading the media in exposing what is REALLY going on in America right now.

Watch these videos to see what will be the national news very soon.

Obama is weak and passive in foreign policy and Liz Cheney explains in two minutes and 44 seconds just exactly how Obama has put us in an extremely dangerous position.

Watch the time interval of 12:00 through 13:30 minutes of the Youtube video of President Obama being interviewed by George Stephanopoulos on Sunday, September 20, 2009.

Where he tells Stephanopoulos when questioned about all of the current illegal Acorn weirdness that, “Frankly it is not something that I have been following closely, I did even know that Acorn was getting a lot of Federal money” – President Barack Obama (09-20-09)

But on December 12, 2007 he told thousands of Community Organizers and Acorn people at the Heartland Democratic Presidential Forum with Acorn’s Depak Bhargava as Master of Ceremonies, this video will help you to realize just exactly how dishonest President Obama really is…..

“During the transition, we are going to call all of you in to help shape the agenda. We’re going to be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda for next presidency of the United States of America” – President Barack Obama (12-01-07)
